Chicago-based indie pop quartet Purple Apple is made up of three 15 year old girls and their twentysomething babysitter, Devin, on drums. The three schoolmates at the core of the band – Olivia, Madi and Nonie – are wise beyond their years, and nowhere does this show more than in their songwriting. While their peers were playing tag and trying out for the junior high cheerleading team, Purple Apple focused their free time writing songs about the things that matter to them, songs that capture the complex world of being a teenager. Armed with a handful of original material, the band released their debut EP, Sweet Wolverine, in 2010. For the past couple of years, the girls have worked hard to perfect their live sound, initially at venerable venues like Schubas and the Hideout, and eventually graduating to become the youngest band to ever headline Chicago’s legendary rock venue, The Metro.

This multidimensional trio brings a classic rock roots salute into a modern sound for their generation. These contemporary teens consistently deliver the essential elements of rock and roll-DRUMS, GUITAR, BASS AND VOCALS. Their music and sophisticated song writing brilliance hits you hard with a legendary formula for famed knockout riffs and bounce around in your head hooks. White Shadow’s naturally relaxed, often hilarious spontaneous approach, always delivers the goods. Habitually artful, these wickedly clever minors shrewd style begs the question-”How old are they?” There is absolutely nothing typical about these Chicago-based schoolboys. Just barely teenagers, the band has performed at dozens of shows, including appearances with national touring acts and a West Coast tour in Hollywood with shows at the world famous Whisky a Go-Go and the Roxy Theatre on the sunset strip. White Shadow brings a gutsy relevance to the scene that’s sometimes heavy and kind of bossy and not to be missed.  These real live rock and roll smarties will leave you wrecked! ROCK ON!!!
